Self-dual and LCD double circulant and double negacirculant codes over \({\mathbb{F}}_q+u{\mathbb{F}}_q+v{\mathbb{F}}_q\) (Q2143866)

Let \(\mathbb{F}_q\) be a finite field with \(q\) elements. In the paper under review, the authors study double circulant and double negacirculant codes over the finite commutative semilocal non-chain ring \(R=\mathbb{F}_q+u\mathbb{F}_q+v\mathbb{F}_q\), where \(u^2=u\), \(v^2=v\) and \(uv=vu=0\). More precisely, they first determine the necessary and sufficient conditions of double circulant codes to be self-dual and LCD. Then, they enumerate self-dual and LCD double circulant codes of length \(2n\) over \(R\) when \(n\) is odd and double negacirculant codes when \(n\) is even, respectively. Finally, by taking Gray images of such codes it is shown that both families are good codes in terms of distance bounds.
